There's nothing in these pics teasing a 1/6 scale Ahsoka. The only reference to her is just a small hologram accessory, and that means nothing. Sideshow way back in 2012 (before Hot Toys took over) claimed in a Q&A that they were planning to do Ahsoka eventually, but after nearly 10 years we are still waiting. I'm hoping she's coming, but I have my doubts. And it's unlikely Sideshow will do any of the other figures you mentioned above. They are very minimally doing any 1/6 scale figures now since Hot Toys dominates that market. They already did an off-model Asajj Ventress figure years ago and blew their chance to do Cad Bane, instead cheaply sculpting his head to stick on a clone wars body for the episode where he was disguised in clone armor and never bothered revisiting that headsculpt to put it on a proper Cad Bane body. I can't see them putting forth the production expense of doing unique sculpts for Savage or Pong either unfortunately.

I kind of wish they'd go back to doing a few more clones to fill in the holes in our collections. After all these years we still need the unique Clone Marine that served under Commander Bacara in ROTS (the maroon/white armor with Snowtrooper style helmets) and the camoflauge armor Biker Scout style clones that were on Kashyyyk in ROTS. Those were the 2 big missing ones on my wishlist that Sideshow never bothered to do long ago when they were churning out any clone trooper or commander they could think of.
